Hearing Today In Crawford Co Strangling Case

Friday, 22 October 2010 12:12 | | |

A judge in Prairie du Chien could decide this afternoon whether Michael Burroughs will be tried for a murder he already confessed to committing.

Burroughs has an evidence hearing in Crawford County court...a standard procedure, leading up to a possible negotiated plea. The Iowa man went to police in Prairie earlier this month, and told them he strangled Shannon Fischer in his apartment in 2006, putting her body in the garbage days later. Area police had spent years searching for Fischer as a missing person.
